T-Mobile's Galaxy Note set to get an out-of-the-box OTA update

T-Mobile Galaxy Note

T-Mobile hasn't yet released their Galaxy Note, and they already have an OTA update in the works. The 5.3-inch pocket computer is set to be released on August 8, and T-Mo support says to expect an update to version T879UVLG3. The specifics are a bit thin, and the change log for the 21MB update lists three issues I'm not seeing with my review unit:

  • Error: ‘Enter MAC address’ after entering MAC address
  • Weather widget does not show current location
  • MobileLife contacts addresses combined into a single field

It's also worth mentioning that the support docs list both the current build and the upcoming OTA as Android version 4.0.3, when the current production units are running Android 4.0.4 with build number T879UVLF5. We're chalking this one up as a typo, but I've reached out to T-Mobile to verify.

To get the update, either via OTA or Samsung Kies, you'll need to have a minimum of 50-percent battery, so be ready to plug your Note in as soon as you get it out of the box a week from Wednesday.

MCCS President John Fitzsimmons today announced that Dr. William Cassidy, currently serving as interim president of Washington County Community College, will remain in the position through the coming academic year. Dr. Cassidy served as president of WCCC from 2003 to 2009 and returned to the college on an interim basis on July 1, 2012, when President Joyce Hedlund retired.

President Fitzsimmons expressed his appreciation to Dr. Cassidy for his willingness to extend his appointment through next June:? ?We are fortunate to have someone of Bill?s abilities and experiences available to lead WCCC this year. The enthusiasm and skills he brings to the job will mean that WCCC doesn?t skip a beat during this transition period.?

A graduate of Calais Memorial High School, Dr. Cassidy?s career in education has spanned three decades at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. Before becoming president at WCCC, he served in a number of senior administrative posts within the Maine Community College System, as an associate commissioner within the Maine Department of Education, as director of the Waterville Regional Vocational Center, and as a teacher at the middle, high school, and college levels.?

Dr. Cassidy holds credentials from Northern Maine Technical College (now Northern Maine Community College), the University of Maine at Machias, Husson College, the University of Maine, and Nova Southeastern University.

Smart cookie: Traditional Chinese dessert contained an extraordinary fortune for CSUN graduate

CANOGA PARK -- Daria Artem won't forget the night 10 years ago when fortune smiled on her.

As her birthday dinner with friends at P.F. Chang's in Woodland Hills wound down, Artem cracked open her fortune cookie.

"You will be successful in business," the little slip of paper said.

"I said I wish it was bigger because I want to share my fortune with everyone," Artem recalled telling the group. "One of my friends challenged me to make a fortune cookie as big as a cake that we could share."

And so she did.

It wasn't long before Artem -- whose 33rd birthday is today - was turning out supersized fortune cookies and other confectionery treats in the kitchen of her Bell Canyon home. She called the startup business

href="http://www.ladyfortunes.com">Lady Fortunes Inc.

Today, Lady Fortunes operates out of a 5,000-square-foot bakery with 27 employees in Canoga Park. It turned out 5 million to 8 million cookies last year and generated $4.5 million in sales, said Artem, the company's CEO and Chief Confectionery Officer.

And the treats have gone from her modest warehouse to the White House.

In 2006 Artem was selected to bake 300 cookies featuring the presidential seal for the Presidents Day Party hosted by then-first lady Laura Bush.

The catch? Protocol deemed she had to pay her own way to Washington and bake in the White House kitchen.

Was she ready for the challenge? You bet.

"There is nothing to describe it," Artem said of the experience. "You just feel so proud. It's an honor. It doesn't matter if you are a Republican or Democrat. You are at the heart of the country. You get goosebumps."

Two years later she baked some cookies decorated with Barack Obama's picture for a couple of his presidential campaign fundraising dinners.

It was a fast ascent for a company born from a challenge made during a birthday dinner.

"I jumped on the Internet and looked up recipes for fortune cookies. Martha Stewart happens to be my idol so when I saw she had a recipe I grabbed it and adapted it," said Artem, who had formed a public relations firm, Artem PR, after graduating from California State University, Northridge, in 2001.

It took about two weeks after that P.F. Chang's dinner to come up with a big fortune cookie that was identical to the smaller ones.

But what can you do with a giant fortune cookie?

Artem dipped her oversized treats in chocolate and gave them to prospective and current clients of her PR firm.

Inside was a fortune that read, "You are one smart cookie when you work with Daria."

"One (client) said `Where did you get this. I want one.' And when a client asks for something you don't

say no," she said. "I thought it was a fluke."

But more orders started coming in, and then while Artem was working on the Honda Insight marketing campaign, the company ordered 120 big fortune cookies.

Bingo. A business was born. The kitchen of her Bell Canyon home became its headquarters as she turned out private label novelties for a variety of online sites.

"I was sleeping three hours a night. It was very hectic and didn't leave me any time for myself or my family. Saturday and Sunday are family days and I pretty much worked them back to back," she said.

Making a giant fortune cookie is just like making a regular one, only on a bigger scale, Artem said. The trick is folding the cookie into its distinctive shape. Only about six out of 10 make it off the production line to market.

Her confectionery catalog also includes a variety of products that can be customized with sprinkles -- she has a huge collection at her factory -- and promotional themes like company logos, slogans and pictures.

The latter are edible and done with a proprietary scanner that captures details fine enough that the image looks like it's printed on paper. The culinary artwork is made from fondant, a sugar-based product, Artem said.

By 2004, orders were coming in at a rapid enough clip that Artem and her fiance, Yasser Emeira, decided to invest the $20,000 they were going to spend on their wedding to lease a facility for baking, supply storage and the management of the company. They tapped a second round of self-funding -- $25,000 that was the honeymoon stash -- to buy equipment.

She signed the lease on Feb. 13 and got her big break later that year at the Fancy Food Show in New York. She basically snowed buyers for Sam's Club and Wal-Mart into believing that Lady Fortunes was bigger than a one-woman operation. They signed contracts a month apart to feature her products on their websites.

Others eventually followed suit.

Eighteen months ago Artem made a successful pitch to the site 1-800-Bakery.com based in Winchester, Mass. Company CEO Stephen Pazyra signed up for some Lady Fortunes products -- including the big cookie -- after a vetting process.

It included a taste test by his four bakers with more than 100 years experience, collectively. But Pazyra was also looking for something else.

"The first thing we do is have them ship us product so we can do a quality check on the items and also how it ships. When you are an online business you have to make sure the product is going to arrive in top quality shape," he said.

Artem and her crew got high marks from Pazyra and his crew. Now she gets about 50 orders a week, he said.

Pazyra said Artem's cookie bouquets are very popular and keyed to seasonal themes. For example, at Halloween each cookie will have a different scary picture.

"It's the looks and the quality of the design," he said. "She also does a good job with corporate logos on the cookies."

And that is important when a big chunk of your revenue is business-to-business sales.

Turns out Artem's formula for success sprung from a tiny slip of paper and a simple recipe of sugar, eggs, flour, hard work and unwavering belief in a dream.

And one big cookie, too.

"It's definitely different, and a lot of fun. People who see this think it's the bees knees," she said. "You can't go into anything without being 100 percent invested. I went into it with a lot of confidence and giving it all of my self."

Lady Fortunes Top 10 Fortunes

1. I am so "fortune"-ate to have you in my life.

2. You are my sweetest cookie and my greatest fortune....You make my heart crumble!

3. Confucius says: a bundle of good fortune is on the way!

4. The "perfect diet" is a cookie in each hand!

5. Lady Fortune will smile on you

6. You are one sweet and smart cookie!

7. The fortune you seek is in a giant fortune cookie!

8. When good fortune does not knock -- build a door!

9. Hard work is the mother of good fortune

10. Good fortune favors those who eat cookies!

WiseLii ? a Mobile Legal Research Tool ? Slaw


We hear a lot of talk about access to justice from the judiciary and the politicians who are charged to execute this lofty ideal. But it took an initiative between the National Virtual Law Library Group and the Federation of Law Societies of Canada to found CanLII over a decade ago.

The Free Access to Law Movement?could hardly envisioned the rise of mobile technology in the 2002?Declaration on Free Access to Law. When a solo private practitioner uses their own resources to advances the goals of unrestricted legal access and provides it to the public for free it's definitely worth taking note.

Garry Wise just launched a new app called WiseLii, which employs CanLII case law and legislation and allows them to be searched, reviewed and saved on a mobile phone. An interview with Wise about the app is available on the Legal Post.

You can download the app from the iTunes market here. A user guide is available here.

'kissinger' is currently in its fifth iteration ('version 2.0'), in which it adopts the shape of a small and simple oblong-shaped <br/> creature; previous versions include a faceless but lipped egg-shaped figure followed by a rotund cartoon character with large lips. in all designs, <br/> the front lip has force sensitive resistors placed just below the outer surface. when kissed, data regarding the difference in pressure at different <br/> points is read and transmitted wirelessly to the receiving 'kissenger' device, where the motorized actuators reproduce the kiss. <br/> all internal electronics are hidden within the unit.</p><p>whether used on the forehead, cheek, or lips, the device transfers the feeling of a kiss given to one unit, to another, enabling the conveyance <br/> of greetings, romance, and well wishes. the latest model transmits kisses over the internet in realtime via a server, with each 'kissenger' robot <br/> connected to the computer via USB port. samani notes in the paper just presented at DIS 2012 that the potential feature of asynchronous kissing<br/> (the device storing a kiss that could be 'read' at a later time) raises significant additional ethical questions.</p><p><img alt="" height="534" src="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/2011/jenny/kissenger/kissenger06.jpg" title="" width="818"/><br/><span>the most recent iteration of 'kissenger'</span></p><p><br/><span>introduction and demo of the most recent 'kissenger' iteration</span></p><p><img alt="" height="384" src="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/2011/jenny/kissenger/kissenger03.jpg" title="" width="818"/><br/><span>the full family of protoypes, from the most recent iteration ('version 2.0') at left, to the original prototype (center), and intermediate model</span></p><p><img alt="" height="460" src="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/2011/jenny/kissenger/kissenger05.jpg" title="" width="818"/><br/><span>users test the device to wirelessly transmit a kiss</span></p><p><img alt="" height="601" src="http://www.designboom.com/weblog/images/images_2/2011/jenny/kissenger/kissenger02.jpg" title="" width="818"/><br/><span>cutaway render of the internal mechanics of the first version prototype;

People are inventing so many new, legal ways to get high that lawmakers can?t seem to keep up.</p> <p>Over the past two years, the U.S. has seen a surge in the use of synthetic drugs made of legal chemicals that mimic the dangerous effects of cocaine, amphetamines and other illegal stimulants.</p> <p>The drugs are often sold at small, independent stores in misleading packaging that suggests common household items like bath salts, incense and plant food. But the substances inside are powerful, mind-altering drugs that have been linked to bizarre and violent behavior across the country. Law enforcement officials refer to the drugs collectively as ?bath salts,? though they have nothing in common with the fragrant toiletries used to moisturize skin.</p> <p>President Barack Obama signed a bill into law earlier this month that bans the sale, production and possession of more than two dozen of the most common bath salt drugs. But health professionals say that there are so many different varieties of the drugs that U.S. lawmakers are merely playing catch up.</p> <p>?The moment you start to regulate one of them, they?ll come out with a variant that sometimes is even more potent,? said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.</p> <p>There are no back alleys or crack houses in America?s latest drug epidemic. The problem involves potent substances that amateur chemists make, package and sell in stores under brands like ?Ivory Wave,? ?Vanilla Sky? and ?Bliss? for as little as $15. Emergencies related to the drugs have surged: The American Association of Poison Control Centers received more than 6,100 calls about bath salt drugs in 2011 ? up from just 304 the year before ? and more than 1,700 calls in the first half of 2012.</p> <p>The problem for lawmakers is that it?s difficult to crack down on the drugs. U.S. laws prohibit the sale or possession of all substances that mimic illegal drugs, but only if federal prosecutors can show that they are intended for human use. People who make bath salts and similar drugs work around this by printing ?not for human consumption? on virtually every packet.</p> <p>Barbara Carreno, a spokeswoman for the Drug Enforcement Agency, said the intended use for bath salts is clear.</p> <p>?Everyone knows these are drugs to get high, including the sellers,? she said.</p> <p>Many states have banned some of the most common bath salts, which are typically sold by small businesses like convenience stores, tobacco shops and adult book stores. For instance, West Virginia legislators banned the bath salt drug MDPV last year, making it a misdemeanor to sell, buy or possess the synthetic drug. Conviction means up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.</p> <p>Stephanie Mitchell, assistant manager of The Den, a tobacco and paraphernalia shop in Morgantown, W.Va., said the store hasn?t sold bath salts in the six months that she?s worked there. But strung-out users still come in and ask for them.</p> <p>?They?re pretty ? cracked out, I guess would be a good word,? said Mitchell, 21, a student at West Virginia University. ?They?re just kind of not all there. They?re kind of sketchy people.?</p> <p>Mitchell says she wouldn?t sell bath salts even if she had them, ?because it?s horrible, and I could get in trouble for it.?</p> <p>Despite the bans, bath salts producers are constantly tweaking their recipes to come up with new drugs that aren?t covered by local laws. In fact, Mark Ryan, director of the Louisiana Poison Center, says there are so many different drugs out there that it?s almost impossible to know what people have ingested, or how long the effects will last.</p> <p>?Cocaine is cocaine and meth is meth. We know what these things do,? he said. ?But with these new drugs, every time the chemist alters the chemical structure, all bets are off.?</p> <p>THE SPREAD</p> <p>The most common bath salt drugs, like MDPV and mephedrone, were first developed in pharmaceutical research laboratories, though they were never approved for medical use. During the last decade they became popular as party drugs at European raves and dance clubs. As law enforcement began cracking down on the problem there, the drugs spread across the Atlantic Ocean.</p> <p>Poison control centers in the U.S. began tracking use of the drugs in 2010. The majority of the early reports of drug use were clustered in southern states like Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. But the problem soon spread across the country.</p> <p>The financial lure for small-time drugmakers is enticing. The drugs can be cheaply imported from China or India, and then easily packaged under local brands. For example, bath salts sold in Louisiana carry regional names like Hurricane Charlie or Bayou.</p> <p>The widespread availability of the drugs in stores is equally alluring for drug users: they can get a cheap high similar to that of illegal drugs by walking to a corner store.</p> <p>The most dangerous synthetic drugs are stimulants that affect levels of both dopamine and serotonin, brain chemicals that affect mood and perception. Users, who typically smoke or snort the powder-based drugs, may experience a surge in energy, fever and delusions of invincibility.</p> <p>Use of these drugs has spread across the country with reports stretching from Maine to California. There are no official federal estimates on deaths connected with the drugs, many of which do not show up on typical drug tests. But police reports have implicated the drugs in several cases.</p> <p>Packets of ?Lady Bubbles? bath salts, for instance, were found on Sgt. David Franklyn Stewart last April after the solider shot and killed his wife and himself during a car chase with law enforcement near Olympia, Wash.</p> <p>The chase began when Stewart sped past a police patrol car at 6 a.m. The police trooper pursued for 10 miles and reported seeing the driver raise a hand to his head, then heard a shot and saw the driver slump over. The next day police found the couple?s 5-year-old son dead in their home; he had been suffocated with a plastic bag at least 24 hours earlier.</p> <p>Another death involving bath salts played out in Covington, La. Police reported that Dickie Sanders, 21, shot himself in the head Nov. 11, 2010 while his parents were asleep.</p> <p>His father, Dr. Richard Sanders, said his son had snorted ?Cloud 9? bath salts and endured three days of intermittent delirium, at one point attempting to cut his own throat. As he continued to have visions, his physician father tried to calm him. But the elder Sanders said that as he slept, his son went into another room and shot himself.</p> <p>WHAT?S AHEAD</p> <p>Hospital emergency rooms, doctors and law enforcement agencies across the country have struggled to control bath salt drug users who often are feverish and paranoid that they are being attacked. Doctors say users often turn up naked because bath salts raise their body temperature so much that they strip off their clothing.</p> <p>Cookeville Regional Medical Center in Tennessee has treated 160 people suspected of taking bath salts since 2010. Dr. Sullivan Smith, who works there, said people on the drugs become combative, and it can take four or five health professionals to subdue them. In some cases, he said, doctors have to use prescription sedatives that are typically reserved for surgery.</p> <p>Smith recalls one man who had been running for more than 24 hours because he believed the devil was chasing him with an ax. By the time police brought him to the hospital, he was dehydrated and covered in blood from running through thorny underbrush.</p> <p>?We?re seeing extreme agitation, hallucinations that are very vivid, paranoia and some really violent behavior, so it?s a real crisis for us,? Smith said. ?We sedate the living daylights out of them. And we?re talking doses on the order of 10 or 20 times what you would give for a painful procedure.?</p> <p>To control the spread of the problem, the Drug Enforcement Agency issued a temporary ban in October on three of the most common drugs ? mephedrone, methylone and MDPV. That ban became permanent under the bill signed by Obama on July 10.</p> <p>Under the law, anyone convicted of selling, making or possessing 28 synthetic drugs, including bath salts, will face penalties similar to those for dealing traditional drugs like cocaine and heroin.</p> <p>Those on the front lines say the legislation is a good start. But they don?t expect new laws to dramatically curb use of bath salts in the near term.</p> <p>?The problem is these drugs are changing and I?m sure they?re going to find some that are a little bit different chemically so they don?t fall under the law,? said Dr. Smith, the Tennessee doctor. ?Is it adequate to name five or 10 or even 20?

Normally the Microsoft device can only scope body and full mitt movements, but the research company was able to track individual fingers with a Kinect or similar sensor, plus its custom software, allowing a user's hand to become a more finely tuned controller. To prove it, the company introduced a virtual <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/lightsaber/">lightsaber</a> to a subject, tracking his swordsmanship perfectly and using his thumb extension to turn it on and off. The system even detected when a passing gesture was made, seamlessly making a virtual transfer of the weapon. The same tech was also used to read sign language, displaying the intended letters on the screen for a quick translation. The SDK is due in the fall, when we can't wait to finally get our hands on a Jedi weapon that isn't <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/05/32-inch-lasersabre-lights-from-wicked-lasers/">dangerous</a> or <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/26/official-star-wars-light-saber-and-blaster-accessories-for-licen/">plasticky</a>.

You use SugarSync to sync files to the cloud, so that you can access, edit, or share them from the SugarSync website or any SugarSync app. The app selection for SugarSync is sweet indeed, with versions for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian. A Linux client is in beta. The SugarSync iPad app (free) is the focus of the review here, and it's a worthy app to have, although at times I wish it had one signature feature found in Google Drive (formerly Google Docs): the ability to edit documents. Let me clarify that you can only edit documents with Google Drive on an iPad if you access the service via Safari or open your documents in another app, so it's not supported directly in the Google Drive app. Still, editing is a key feature that attracts my attention, and it's a big reason Google Drive is also an Editors' Choice.</p> <p><strong>The Competition<br /></strong>While I still adore both Google Drive and Dropbox, and will emphasize that they're worthy of our Editors' Choice award, SugarSync does a few things slightly differently that I like, too. SugarSync is extremely simple to use, and it preserves your folder structure?no need to move files into a special folder, as Dropbox has you do during setup. SugarSync also gives you more space with a free account (5GB compared to Dropbox's 2GB) and unlimited bonus space for referrals. Google Drive is comparatively new to the syncing scene and thus still something of a work in progress. On the iPad, it's not as easy to see the source of your files, although it has a great search tool, which SugarSync lacks.</p> <p>That said, let me be the first to admit that I use all three services mentioned above, but I use each one for different types of documents. I keep my work files in SugarSync, my home computer files (photos, personal documents) in Dropbox, and household files that I collaborate on with my family in Google Drive. . Who says you have to choose just one?</p> <p><strong>Features<br /></strong>SugarSync's iPad app is free to download, but you do need a SugarSync account to use it. The first 5GB of any account are free, but you can upgrade to 30GB for $49.99 per year, 60GB for $99.99 per year, or 100GB for $149.99 per year (monthly payments are also available, see the pricing page).</p> <p>The graphical opening page is the first indication that SugarSync's iPad app is easy to use. All the icons and names you've given to your synced devices appear along the left side. See the slideshow for an example. Tap on any of the icons, and SugarSync will pull up a list of the folders and files that devices houses. You'll also see buttons for Photos, Recent Documents, Magic Briefcase, and a few others.</p> <p>Say you're away from the office but need to quickly reference a spreadsheet that you (wisely) set to sync with SugarSync. From your iPad, you can navigate to the file, view it, share it via email, sync it to your iPad, rename it, copy it, or move it. You can't edit it on the spot, however, as I mentioned previously.</p> <p>You can apply all the actions supported in the iPad app to batches of files, making light work of otherwise heavy lifting.</p> <p>The Recent Documents button proves useful for me. It shows documents that SugarSync has identified as being recently created, or changed and synced. For day-to-day work files, this area is great for quick access to files you're likely to need the most.</p> <p>Photo syncing on SugarSync for iPhone is a little less intuitive than the rest of the app, and it can become very complicated quickly, especially if you use other photo-syncing services, such as iCloud. I had a hard time figuring out where photos lived after landing on the Photos area. It's just not clear where or how they're stored.</p> <p>One missing feature is a search tool, a critical omission that easily knocks this otherwise stellar app down to its four-star rating. The difficulty I had with photos would disappear almost entirely if I had a search tool at the ready.</p> <p><strong>Security<br /></strong>SugarSync provides decent security, encrypting your data while at rest and while in transmission. The iPad app adds another layer of security as well in the form of an optional four-digit PIN. For anyone using SugarSync to sync data that could be considered sensitive or personal, this extra protection definitely helps to make you feel more secure and keep out malfeasants.</p> <p><strong>Syncing Made Simple<br /></strong>If you use SugarSync and have an iPad, you'll definitely want to download the SugarSync iPad app so that you can get at your files quickly and from virtually anywhere, although you may lament the lack of a search tool. SugarSync remains a great file-syncing choice for anyone who wants simple setup, a preserved folder structure, and intelligent interface on the mobile apps. Sugar Sync is an Editors' Choice for file-syncing on the iPad.</p> <p>Seeing as SugarSync and its strongest competitors are free, there's no reason you can't have them all. You might use them as I do to store files of different types or for different purposes.</p> <p><em>More iPad App Reviews: </em><br /><span>??? SugarSync (for iPad)</span><br /><span>???

These days, no matter what type of call centers businesses are running, the caller almost always gets routed to a automated answering service, only to be routed to a live person later on down the line. This dilemma has marked a shift in the way small businesses wish to do business. Marketing departments have identified this void and refer to it as CDJ (Customer Decision Journey). They are trying to identify where in the line of digital communication are the consumers being lost. Drop a call, lose a sale, gain an unhappy customer. Get the picture? If your customers are forced to jump thru hoops, then you'd better make it worth their while to increase the chances of a repeat sale and customer satisfaction. <br /><img align="right" alt="how voip works" border="0" height="240" src="https://www.colocationamerica.com/picts/blog/How-Voip-Works.jpg" title="VOIP" width="300" /></p> <p class="p2">Businesses looking to increase customer service and drive sales should consider looking into a VOIP technology. Voice Over Internet Protocol is a communication technology, as well as a methodology that allows the delivery of voice communications over the internet. But cost effectiveness and ROI are always key factors when faced with budgetary constraints. Fortunately for small businesses, there are many cost effective options concerning VOIP;related solutions. VOIP billing software solutions can help streamline the payment process for purchases made online. Furthermore, VOIP related solutions offer small businesses a cheaper alternative to a standardized analog phone line, making long distance phone calls a breeze, and saving you money in the process.</p> <p class="p3">As modern consumers, more of us rely on social media to research, discover and ultimately buy the goods or services we are interested in. The old paradigm of routing and re-routing inbound calls is slowly dying out with the CDJ (there's that acronym again), customer decision journey. If customers are constantly hooked up to the internet and all their desired social media points to you, doesn't it make sense to meet them half way? You bet! Think of VOIP as the bigger piece in the marketing puzzle. An internet based communication tool to better service your customers. Allowing the technology into your call center will not only make your services more accessible, but it will also drive sales . At the end of the day we are all consumers. If there is a problem, we want to be able to solve it easily by talking to someone directly or indirectly via live chat. Granting us that wish will only lead to happy customers.</p> <p class="p4">The main challenge is to start thinking critically about how you, as a small business wish to upgrade your call center by using VOIP related technologies. Do some research to see where in the communication chain people are becoming lost or frustrated. Only then will you be able to streamline your service and reap the rewards for years to come. ROI may not come right away, but it will prove itself time and time again with each satisfied consumer, and as time goes on sales will improve.

What's the best ticket to buy? How far in advance can I book a princess breakfast at Cinderella's castle? </p> <p>To make things easy, here's a round up of local hotels, sorted by personality, to help you find the right fit. </p> <p>Remember, after settling on a hotel, it's time to get dining reservations in order. Perhaps this quick guide to Disney restaurants might be of help. And, don't forget, there's plenty to do outside the parks. </p> <p>Have any questions about staying at Disney? Ask them in the comments below.</p> <ul class="hp-slideshow" id="hp-slideshow-239658" readability="46.5"><li readability="6"> <h4>For The Pool-Sitter:</h4> <p>Though it's theme might not be out of the ordinary (shingle style hotels on Nantucket and the Vineyard), Disney's <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/yacht-club-resort/" target="_hplink">Yacht Club Resort </a>has the coolest pool on property. Stormalong Bay, as it's called, features a sand-bottomed pool that's like being at the beach without all the critters. There's also a lazy river for relaxing and the water slide is one of the tallest of all the WDW resorts'. The pool complex is shared with the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/beach-club-resort/" target="_hplink">Beach Club Resort</a> right next door, so that's a good place to check out too. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="6"> <h4>For The Animal Lover:</h4> <p>They don't call it the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/animal-kingdom-lodge/" target="_hplink">Animal Kingdom Lodge</a> for nothing. The hotel is African-inspired, down to the thatched roof, mud fireplace and 16-foot Ijele mask on display in the lobby. Oh, and the savannas outside. Animal-loving types will dig the animals that roam freely on the four savannas on the hotel grounds. Aside from being able to observe them from savanna-view rooms and special glass alcoves situated throughout the hotel, guests can also participate in the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/wanyama-safari-resort-tour/" target="_hplink">Wanyama Safari</a> to get even closer to the action. The safari is only available to guests of the hotel. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="7"> <h4>For The Foodie:</h4> <p>One of the biggest perks of the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/grand-floridian-resort-and-spa/" target="_hplink">Grand Floridian Resort & Spa</a> is it's proximity to the Magic Kingdom and location on the monorail loop. It's also home to one of Disney World's biggest culinary draws, AAA Five Diamond award winning <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/victoria-and-alberts/" target="_hplink">Victoria & Albert's</a> restaurant. Each experience at the restaurant is a different one, as unique daily prix-fixe menus are crafted based on what's market-fresh that day. Men, make sure you bring a jacket, as those are required. And, leave the kiddos with the sitter. Children younger than 10 are not permitted. Photo: The Walt Disney Company </p> </li> <li readability="7"> <h4>For The Honeymooners:</h4> <p>Couldn't decide betweeen Disney World and a beachy getaway? Kill two birds with one stone at the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/polynesian-resort/" target="_hplink">Polynesian Resort</a>. It's also conveniently located on the monorail, but the white sandy beaches and lush tropical foliage give the illusion of seclusion. The luau show is pretty cute, if you don't mind sitting through the kiddie stuff to get to the tribal dancers and fire breathers. If not, fruity cocktails abound, and are perfect when sipped a deux on a waterside hammock. After sundown, the beach becomes the perfect viewing point for the Magic Kingdom fireworks and the nightly Electrical Water Pageant that sails by. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="8"> <h4>For Families:</h4> <p>Ok, so all of Disney's resorts are great for families, but the newly-opened <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/art-of-animation-resort/" target="_hplink">Art of Animation Resort</a> has a little bit of an edge. It's considered a "value" resort by the folks at Disney, so the prices are going to be some of the lowest on property. And, even at those prices, you get a kitchenette (kitchens are otherwise found in deluxe villas, club-level suites and Fort Wilderness cabins) plus a separate master bedroom and two bathrooms. Rooms sleep up to six. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="4"> <h4>For The Princess In Training:</h4> <p>We know it's hard to break it to a little girl, but Cinderella's castle does not double as a hotel. Try softening the blow with a few nights in one of the royal guest rooms at <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/port-orleans-resort-riverside/" target="_hplink">Port Orleans - Riverside</a>. There might be no Prince Charming, but there <em>are</em> light-up headboards that put on a fiber optic "fireworks" display. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="6"> <h4>For The Sentimentalist</h4> <p>Channeling 1940s Atlantic City, the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/board-walk-inn/" target="_hplink">BoardWalk Inn</a> is a walk (literally) down memory lane for anyone enamored with the good old days. Beneath the hotel is a real boardwalk that features full-service restaurants and food booths hawking snacks like funnel cakes, corn dogs, ice cream cones -- all the fried and sugary goodness one expects to eat at the beach. Performers and two night clubs keep the place lively, and rentable surrey bikes keep people moving at a leisurely pace. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="3"> <h4>For The Swashbuckler:</h4> <p>Of course we wouldn't leave out the lads. The <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/caribbean-beach-resort/" target="_hplink">Caribbean Beach Hotel</a>'s name is a dead giveaway as to its theme. But, what it doesn't hint at are the pirate rooms that feature pirate ships for beds as well as other seafaring touches. Photo: The Walt Disney Company</p> </li> <li readability="5"> <h4>For The Soldier (Or Marine, Or Airman, Or Sailor...):</h4> <p>Did you know that there's a hotel on Disney property that caters exclusively to members of the Armed Forces? <a href="http://www.shadesofgreen.org/" target="_hplink">Shades of Green</a>, which is run by the U.S. Army, is located across from the Grand Floridian and is open to all branches of the military. It features an on-site spa and golf course as well as restaurants. And, a ticket office inside sells discounted tickets to all of the major area attractions (not just Disney.)</p> </li> <li readability="6"> <h4>For The Mickeyphobe:</h4> <p>For those looking for the convenience of staying on Disney property, but aren't into being bombarded by Disney <em>all</em> day, the<a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/swan-resort/" target="_hplink"> Swan Hotel</a> and the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/dolphin-resort/" target="_hplink">Dolphin Hotel</a> are the best bets. They're actually part of the Starwood family of hotels (bonus for SPG members!) so the design is much like any upscale contemporary hotel. Once inside, it doesn't even feel like being on Disney property anymore, with the exception of the character dining experience offered at the Swan's Garden Grove restaurant. </p> </li> <li readability="8"> <h4>For The Outdoorsman:</h4> <p>Another unique lodging option at Disney World is one you bring yourself -- in the forms of tents, pop-ups and RVs. There are four different types of campsites available at the <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/campsites-at-fort-wilderness-resort/" target="_hplink">Fort Wilderness Resort</a>, to accommodate all manner of campers, all nestled in a wooded outpost nearby the Magic Kingdom. Rent a golf cart to make navigating the 750 acres easy, especially since the parts of the resort housing the pool, campfire movie, stables and restaurants aren't accessible to cars. Don't have an RV and not into tenting it? Fort Wilderness also has <a href="http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/resorts/cabins-at-fort-wilderness-resort/" target="_hplink">cabins </a>that offer the same scenery with less hassle.

It introduced a paid, premium service earlier this year. It declined to give revenue figures, but said "hundreds" of customers had upgraded to the premium version. </p><p>Although Rosenstein and co-founder Dustin Moskovitz are alumni of social-network Facebook - Moskovitz co-founded the service with his Harvard roommate Mark Zuckerberg - they were quick to distance Asana from social networking. </p><p>Instead, they say, they view the company as an alternative to email, in-person meetings, physical whiteboards, and spreadsheets. "That's what we see as our competition," said Rosenstein. "Replacing those technologies." </p><p>With its latest funding round, Asana has now raised a total of $38 million from investors including Benchmark Capital and Andreessen Horowitz. </p><p>Thiel, who got to know Moskovitz and Rosenstein thanks to his early backing of Facebook, had already invested in Asana when it raised its "angel" round in early 2009. Now, his high-profile Founders Fund is investing and Thiel is joining Asana's board. </p><p>Facebook has 901 million monthly users and revenue last year of $3.7 billion. But its May initial public offering disappointed many investors after it priced at $38 per share and then quickly fell. It closed on Friday at $28.76. </p><p>Many investors speculate that start-ups will have to accept lower valuations in the wake of the Facebook IPO. The Asana co-founders said the terms of their latest funding round were set before Facebook debuted on public markets. </p><p>A few of Facebook's longtime employees have gone on to work on their own ventures. Bret Taylor, formerly chief technology officer, said last month he was leaving to start his own company. </p><p>Dave Morin, who joined Facebook in 2008 from Apple, left in 2010 to found social network Path. Facebook alumni Adam D'Angelo and Charlie Cheever left in 2009 to start Quora, their question-and-answer company, which is also backed by Thiel. </p><p>Another former roommate of Zuckerberg's, Chris Hughes, also left a few years ago and coordinated online organizing for Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign. Now, he is publisher of the New Republic magazine. </p><p>Matt Cohler, who joined Facebook from LinkedIn early in 2005, joined venture capital firm Benchmark Capital in 2008. His investments there include Asana and Quora. </p><p>Source: <a
